Representation Summary:

We note and endorse the approach wherein proposals for strategic development should be developed through consultation and iterative dialogue. There is no reference to a requirement that a given Masterplan should be adopted or incapable of review once agreed.

This pragmatic approach provides the best opportunity of responding to market signals to secure deliverable schemes and early contribution to the OAN. A comprehensive site-wide design strategy can be prepared and/or taken forward by developers. There should be no requirement for the LPA to manage delivery unless it is clearly evidenced that this is necessary to realise policy obectives.
